How and how to paint an artificial Christmas tree white
No special tools or additional devices are required for the staining procedure. It is enough to purchase the required amount of the required paint at any building materials store.
IMPORTANT! You need to take paint in cans, so painting will be more convenient. If you paint with a paint brush, the needles may stick together.
You can paint the whole tree, or you can only paint the tips. Regardless of the scale of coloring, the structure will look more elegant than a regular green Christmas tree.
Step-by-step staining technique:
- Since the procedure is quite dirty - when the can is sprayed, its contents scatter in a cloud in different directions, the spruce needs to be placed somewhere in a non-residential area. A balcony or garage is suitable for this purpose. You need to lay oilcloth on the floor.
- All twigs and needles must be wiped from dust and other contaminants.
- The paint container must be shaken before starting the procedure. Then start painting. This must be done carefully and carefully so that the paint gets to all the necessary areas in an even layer.
- If you want to give the spruce a more festive look, after the dyeing procedure, before the paint dries, you can apply glitter paint - silver or gold - to the tips of the needles.
How to Add Snow to an Artificial Christmas Tree
If you don’t want to paint your spruce a completely different color, but you want to make it unusual, then you can cover it with so-called snow. If done correctly, the artificial tree will look slightly powdery.
For this you will need:
- White acrylic paint.
- Collected tree.
- Brush of the right size.
- Glitter for decoration.
The paint should be applied from the top of the tree vertically. So that after application the glitter has time to stick to the needles, it is necessary to paint in small areas, immediately showering them.
These fairly simple manipulations will help change the appearance of the spruce, giving it an unusual and festive look. A spruce of non-traditional color is a wonderful decoration and will cause many enthusiastic reviews from guests and household members. All that remains is to hang the garlands, toys and tinsel. And you can start celebrating the New Year.
